In the Fiftees when the bakery trade considered the baking skill secretive, there was no scope for the technical persons to meet and exchange their views. This hurdle was removed in mid sixteens when the Government of India established Modern Bakeries (India) Limited as a Public Sector Enterprise with its units spread all over the country and the US Wheat Associates assisted in setting up two Baking Schools, one at Anand and the other at Bangalore. The bakers then realized the need of using new techniques. This brought the technical persons together. During these meeting they felt the need for a common platform for technical as well as commercial purpose for the bakery industry which can have impact on the Government.
